Can be used alone to control lead dust
Must be used with abatement methods
Should be used with interim control methods
Two methods work well
HEPA vacuums All-purpose cleaners or lead-specific cleaners

Use of HEPA VacuumsUse of HEPA Vacuums Lightly mist area with water to minimize
dust levels
Move slowly
Vacuum all surfaces
Use special attachments
Maintain the vacuum in good condition
